Re-reading "#UtopianSocialism - Its History Since 1800" by #LeoLoubere (published in 1974). In particular, chapter 6, which deals with "experimental communities" and why they fail -- citing #Capitalism, lack of practical knowledge, and how cooperation and #MutualAid were needed for communities to survive. And also how defense (against others, protecting crops, etc.), and leaders who aren't forceful are also necessary.
Ahhhh. And some truly lighter reading. The last printed issue of the Farmer's Almanac (in print since 1818). I will miss their tips and tricks as well as topics like natural pest control, #Hygge, herbs of the month, how to make #Switchel, and #Gardening tips. I noticed they also acknowledged #ClimateChange and #WeatherExtremes, and highlighted #EmergencyPreparedness.

Major snow, #IceStorm to affect more than 150 million people in southern, eastern US
A massive winter storm is set to spread heavy snow and ice across more than two dozen states, threatening travel, power outages and dangerous cold from the South and Plains to the Northeast this weekend.
By Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist
Published Jan 20, 2026 11:59 AM EST | Updated Jan 22, 2026
"A high-impact winter storm will spread snow and ice across more than two dozen states from #Texas through the #Carolinas and #Maine from Friday through the weekend. The amount and extent of snow and ice could cut power and disrupt travel for days, increasing the risk to lives and property.
" 'Potentially hundreds of thousands of people may go without electricity and heat for days,' AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter said.
"So much snow and sleet may occur that roads could become clogged in areas ill-equipped to handle even a light coating of snow, let alone several inches, from #Texas and #Oklahoma to the #MississippiValley. Schools and child-care centers may be closed for days.
"In areas where a thick glaze of ice forms, scores of trees and power lines may come down, and removing ice from streets, highways, parking lots and sidewalks may be difficult or impossible, especially where ice-melting supplies are limited. Utility crews could be overwhelmed by the scope of the storm. "

Millions brace for potentially catastrophic #IceStorm. What to know, by the numbers
Millions of Americans are bracing for a potentially catastrophic ice storm from #NewMexico to the #Carolinas
ByJEFF MARTIN Associated Press
January 22, 2026ATLANTA -- "Millions of Americans from New Mexico to the Carolinas are bracing for a potentially catastrophic ice storm that could crush trees and power lines and knock out power for days, while many northern states all the way to New England could see enough snow to make travel nearly impossible, forecasters say.
"An estimated 100 million people were under some type of winter weather watch, warning or advisory on Wednesday ahead of the storm, the National Weather Service said.
"The storm, expected to begin Friday and continue through the weekend, is also projected to bring heavy snow and all types of wintry precipitation, including freezing rain and sleet. An atmospheric river of moisture could be in place by the weekend, pulling precipitation across #Texas and other states along the #GulfCoast and continuing across #Georgia and the Carolinas, forecasters said.
"Here's a look at the approaching storm and how people are preparing for it, by the numbers:
"The number of snowplows owned by the city of Jackson, #Mississippi, where a mix of ice and sleet is possible this weekend. The city uses other heavy machinery like skid steers and small excavators to clear roads, said James Caldwell, deputy director of public works. Jackson also has three trucks that carry salt and sand to spread across roads before freezing weather.
"The amount of ice — half an inch, or 1.27 centimeters — that can lead to a crippling ice storm, toppling trees and power lines to create widespread and long-lasting power outages. The latest forecasts from the National Weather Service warn of the potential for a half-inch of ice or more for many areas, including parts of #Arkansas, #Louisiana, #Alabama, and #Tennessee."

Opinion: We should remember unhoused people when a severe snowstorm hits
Here we go again. #Toronto’s annual open-and-shut Band-Aid operation of emergency shelters for inclement weather.Updated Jan. 15, 2026
By Cathy Crowe Contributor"Here we go again. Toronto’s annual open-and-shut Band-Aid operation of emergency shelters for inclement weather.
"I’m used to city councillors fighting hard for their communities — whether it’s for transit, schools, safe roads, libraries or parks — but none of them questioned why their Scarborough, East York, York, North York or Etobicoke wards had no cool centres.
"Instead, it appears they believe a single 24/7 cooling centre, likely operating in the lobby at Metro Hall, will be sufficient for everyone needing respite across a city that spans 43 km east to west and 21 km north to south. This despite the city’s own 2024 Street Needs Assessment that counted more than 1,600 people living outside and shelter data that documented more than 150 people per day denied shelter due to lack of space.
Toronto has botched its approaches to protect vulnerable people during extreme weather."

When the grid goes down, real communication still matters. 📻⚡
Learn how ham radio operates during disasters—and why preparation, discipline, and mindset make all the difference.

China is testing a megawatt airborne wind turbine that flies high above the ground to tap into stronger and more stable winds.
Instead of a massive tower, the system uses a helium-lifted platform to generate power where wind is more consistent. Developers say this could use far less material than traditional turbines and lower electricity costs once scaled.
What makes it more interesting is the use case beyond energy. The platform can be moved and deployed quickly, making it useful for disaster zones after earthquakes or floods to power lights, radios, and critical equipment.
What are your thoughts on this?

Disaster Stories: When Ham Radio Was the Only Line Out
979 words, 5 minutes read time.
In the face of disaster, when power grids fail, cell towers collapse, and the world falls silent, a group of dedicated individuals remains steadfast—amateur radio operators, or “hams.” These men and women, often working quietly behind the scenes, have been the lifeline for countless communities during emergencies. Their stories are not just about radios and frequencies; they’re about courage, community, and the unyielding spirit of service.
The Genesis of Amateur Radio in Emergency Communications
The roots of amateur radio’s involvement in emergency communications trace back to the early 20th century. In 1914, the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) was established, marking a significant step in organizing amateur radio operators. By the 1920s and 1930s, hams were actively engaging in disaster response, providing crucial communication links during floods and ice storms in New Mexico and Minnesota.
The need for organized emergency communication became even more apparent during World War II. In 1942, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) formed the War Emergency Radio Service (WERS) to ensure that amateur radio could be quickly mobilized in times of national crisis. This laid the groundwork for future emergency services.
The Rise of ARES and RACES
In 1935, the ARRL introduced the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES), aiming to provide organized communication support during emergencies. This initiative was further strengthened in 1952 with the establishment of the Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES), a service authorized by the FCC to assist government agencies during civil emergencies.
These organizations have been instrumental in numerous disaster responses. For instance, during the 2003 North America blackout, amateur radio operators played a pivotal role in relaying information and coordinating efforts when traditional communication systems were overwhelmed.
Real-Life Heroes: Ham Radio in Action
The true measure of amateur radio’s impact is best understood through the stories of those who have experienced its benefits firsthand.
During Hurricane Katrina in 2005, over a thousand ARES volunteers provided essential communication services. Hancock County, Mississippi, had lost all contact with the outside world, except through ARES operators who served as 911 dispatchers and message relayers.
Hurricane Michael in 2018 left many areas without power and communication. Amateur radio operators were among the first to establish communication links, coordinating rescue and relief efforts when other systems were down.
During Hurricane Helene in 2024, in Asheville, North Carolina, ham radio operators played a significant role in keeping residents informed during this deadly tropical storm. They provided updates and coordinated emergency responses when electrical grids and telephone communications were disrupted.
The Mechanics of Ham Radio in Emergencies
Amateur radio’s effectiveness in emergencies lies in its unique capabilities. Unlike commercial communication systems that rely on infrastructure vulnerable to damage, ham radios can operate independently. Operators use battery-powered equipment, solar panels, and portable antennas to establish communication links, often without the need for external power sources.
One of the key tools in emergency communications is the use of repeaters. These devices amplify radio signals, extending the communication range, especially in mountainous or obstructed areas. Additionally, digital modes like Winlink allow for the transmission of emails and messages over long distances, even when traditional internet services are unavailable.
Training and Preparedness: The Backbone of Emergency Response
The readiness of amateur radio operators is a result of continuous training and preparation. Events like Field Day, held annually, simulate emergency conditions, allowing operators to practice setting up equipment and establishing communication links without relying on commercial power sources. These exercises ensure that when real disasters strike, operators are prepared to respond swiftly and effectively.
Organizations such as ARES and RACES provide structured training programs, ensuring that volunteers are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to handle various emergency scenarios. Their involvement is crucial in maintaining a state of preparedness within communities.
The Future of Ham Radio in Disaster Response
As technology advances, so does the role of amateur radio in emergency communications. The integration of digital modes, satellite communications, and software-defined radios enhances the capabilities of ham operators, allowing for more efficient and reliable communication during disasters.
Legislative support also plays a vital role in ensuring the continued effectiveness of amateur radio. Initiatives like the Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act aim to prevent homeowner associations from banning amateur radio antennas, ensuring that operators can maintain their equipment and remain ready to assist during emergencies.
Conclusion: A Call to Action
The stories of amateur radio operators during disasters are a testament to the power of community, preparedness, and resilience. Their unwavering commitment ensures that when all else fails, communication remains possible.
For those interested in becoming part of this vital network, obtaining an amateur radio license is the first step. By doing so, you not only gain the skills to operate radio equipment but also become a crucial link in a chain that can make all the difference during emergencies.

#NativeAmericaCalling: What the #Texas #FlashFloods teach us about #EmergencyPreparedness
Monday, July 14, 2025
"Earlier this year, after numerous warnings by inspectors, a levee in Oregon gave way, damaging more than 950 homes, including those of the #BurnsPaiute Tribe. And on the #NavajoNation, notification was key to helping hundreds of residents evacuate as the #OakRidgeFire consumed more than 11,000 acres.
"Tune into Native America Calling to hear about those and emergency plans by some other tribes aimed at keeping threats from becoming human tragedies."

Are you ready to start organizing or supporting local mutual aid disaster relief? So many emergency preparedness and response programs are being cut, at a time when disasters are on the rise and will continue to worsen indefinitely. If no one else will save us, why don't we try working together to save each other?
"Those on leave include all of the employees of a national disaster response program..."
